ASA Filament - Blue - 1.75mm

Our ASA (Acrylonitirle Styrene Acrylate) is a UV-resistant weatherable polymer. ASA's UV-stability makes it an ideal material for outdoor applications that will experience intense exposure to the sun and weather.

ASA is the perfect replacement when you require a performance material without the problems that can arise during printing with, for example, ABS. ASA not only has great strength and interlayer adhesion but also features one of the best aesthetics possible with FDM 3D printing.

ASA has a low-gloss sheen that makes technical parts look great and hides the layer lines.

ASA's exceptional mechanical and thermal properties along with excellent UV-stability makes it an ideal material and ABS alternative for use in Auto, Marine, and RV industries and for exterior applications such as mirror housings, cowl covers, radiator grills, and sensor housings.

Made from 100% Grade A Virgin Raw Materials: We've seen first hand what prints from recycled filaments can look like, issues such as visible discoloration and other inconsistencies are common. From the very beginning, we've always guaranteed in writing that our filaments are made from pure grade virgin resin, giving you consistent high quality prints, beautiful look and feel.

Controlled using Non-Contact Laser Diameter Gauge: Rapid, precise and repeatable measurements to exact dimensional tolerances. Such gauges allow us to maintain consistent high quality filament by automatically stopping a production line the moment a non-conforming measurement is detected. So regardless of the 3D printer you are using, the consistently round diameters provide optimum flow through the extruder nozzle.

Ideal for High Resolution Prints: Our filaments will give you outstanding results even when printing at ultra high resolution using the latest 3D printers.

Tested on a Wide Range of 3D Printers: We repeatedly and accurately test our filaments in-house, but more importantly, we act based on feedback from thousands of customers all across Canada (Thank you!)

Compliant, Registered and Certified: Our filaments comply with the Restriction of Hazardous Substance (RoHS) directive and certified by SGS. Why is it important? It basically means the filaments are free from lead and other potentially hazardous substances including cadmium, mercury and chromium VI, among others.

Moisture Protected Packaging: Some 3D printing materials can be negatively affected by moisture, that's why every product made by us is packed inside an air tight package along with a moisture absorbing desiccant pack. Furthermore, we've taken an extra precautionary step and will also ship you 1 free resealable bag as well as 1 free extra desiccant pack for every spool that you order. Regardless of the type of filament or the manufacturer. This will enable you to easily keep your filaments at an optimal storage condition and free from dust or dirt AFTER opening the original packaging, so its always ready for your next print.

Produced According to a Standardized Color System: Every colored filament we manufacture is formulated according to a standard color system such as the Pantone Color Matching System. This is important in order to ensure consistent color shade with every batch as well as allowing us to produce specialty colors such as metallic and custom colors.

PrintingTemperature:

Notes:

235°C - 255°C

Set your print bed temperature to approximately 90°C - 110°C. (if possible cool the bed down by about 10-20°C after the first couple of layers)

ASA printed at high temperatures will make the final product extra strong.
